Using Charles Haddon Spurgeon as a model, this book looks at how the personal spirituality and piety of a pastor is tied to his success and faithfulness in ministry. A Puritan and Calvinistic Baptist heritage served to mould Spurgeon's life and the development of his ministry. The pivotal influence of the writings of John Bunyan, John Gill and Andrew Fuller are examined in detail. Spurgeon's faithful and intimate walk with God undergirded his preaching, teaching and writing ministries and provided the impetus that led him to establish many organizations and societies to relieve poverty, assist people with addictions and provide homes for orphans. C.H. Spurgeon was the preeminent Baptist evangelist/preacher in nineteenth-century England. His sermons crossed the Atlantic and were printed and distributed each week for many years. Today, the advice he gave to ministry students, his extensive sermon collection and his written works continue to teach.

Challenging ethical decisions face believers every day across the world. If Christians are to make solid ethical decisions in life, what is the basis on which they are to make them? This introduction to Christian ethics begins by establishing the biblical, theological and philosophical foundations on which an ethical life can be built. With the basis of a Christian worldview and a solid ethical framework, Christians are able to make coherent moral decisions. Through the study of Scripture and by rational analysis, this book encourages readers striving to build a consistent moral life. The Righteous Will Flourish will help them think through and articulate their Christian ethical position on difficult issues. These include abortion, euthanasia, environmental concerns, sexual expression, medical technologies, war, politics, work and Christian leadership--issues that impact both individual lives and society as a whole.

The Old Testament can be difficult to understand and is often neglected today. We may find it confusing, harsh, full of rules, laws and prophecies, strange events or just plain difficult to navigate. We want to get on to the "good stuff" in the New Testament! But Jesus himself stressed the importance of the Old Testament-and it is in studying the Old Testament that we understand his person and work more fully. The entire Bible is God's message about his Son, our Saviour-the whole Bible finds meaning in him. If we are to be gripped by the unfolding historical drama of the Old Testament, thrilled by the evidences of the providence and purpose of God or enthralled by the developing picture of the promised Messiah, we need to first understand the flow of Old Testament narrative and how it fits into God's redemptive purposes. Author Gareth Crossley encourages the people of God with an Old Testament survey that focuses on this thread. The patriarchs, the nation of Israel, the kings and prophets, the widow and the poor, all have great purposes in God's unfolding plan of salvation. In its history, poetry and prophecies, the Old Testament is a glorious message of hope-of looking forward, of seeing God move in both ordinary and miraculous ways as he shows himself to be a gracious and promise-keeping God-and whose Son comes to bring salvation to sinners everywhere and in every age!

This series of essays, grouped thematically, seeks to honour the life and work of the founder of Carey International Pastoral Training, Bob Penhearow.

Bob's zeal to see God's glory move through nations by the faithful ministry of pastors in local churches has been infectious.
